What is BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access?
BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access enables security professionals
to control, monitor, and manage access to critical systems by privileged users
and third-party vendors (e.g. authorized employees, contractors, etc). BeyondTrust's approach is designed to allow companies to quickly gain
control of system access and protect themselves against cyberattacks without
requiring time-consuming process changes.
Features for secure access, vault credentials, and audit sessions:
Features for secure access, vault credentials, and audit sessions:
- Secure Remote Access - Connection and from anywhere to critical IT systems, cloud applications, and OT systems—no VPN required.
- Session Management - With full visibility and control over all actions, permissions, and more, in every privileged session. Ensures compliance is easily met with granular details of every session automatically recorded and logged.
- Privileged Access Control - Enforces least privilege and just-in-time access by giving users the exact level of remote access they need — and only for the finite moments needed.
- Flexible Consoles & Tools - Maintains secure workflows with familiar tools like Putty or Azure Data Studio and increase coverage by initiating access via mobile or web consoles.
- Streamlined Authentication - Drives productivity and system protection with MFA, passwordless authentication, and SAML authentication optimized for smooth onboarding and access.
- Compliance & Session Auditing - Access sessions are SOC 2 compliance-ready with audit trails, forensics, and advanced analytics using detailed session data – available in real-time or post-session.
And in accordance with zero trust tenets and principles, Privileged Remote Access helps organizations to ensure all access is appropriate, right-sized, managed, and documented across the enterprise. The solution enables just-in-time access for insiders, third-party vendors, and OT systems alike by applying granular least privilege access controls.
Privileged Remote Access can be leveraged to harden remote access pathways, prevent unwanted lateral movement, and implement application-level microsegmentation to prevent users from accessing resources for which they are not authorized.
Access sessions are managed within a centralized platform for both access control and session management. Control and monitor sessions via a secure agent, or standard protocols for RDP, VNC, HTTPS, SSH and SQL connections. Admins gain full oversight of remote session activity. They can define what endpoints users can access, schedule when they can access them, whitelist/blacklist applications during sessions, and capture detailed session data for real-time or post-session review.
These capabilities help to satisfy internal and external compliance requirements with comprehensive audit trails, session forensics, and the ability to view session recordings firsthand. Attestation reports to prove compliance are always just a few clicks away.
